Flip app

Being a lease breaker here in New York can be like wearing a scarlet letter around town, and on top of that there’s the hefty fees often associated with moving out early. But sometimes with life’s uncertainties it’s unavoidable. To make the transition a lot smoother, a new app called Flip “lets renters sell the remaining months of their unwanted lease to a pre-qualified tenant,” according to DNAinfo. The platform launched today and already has 300 leases up for grabs.
